The Epic Blind Date with My Boss novel Chapter 11

After the incident, Josie’s popularity in the design department was no longer what it used to be. People would gossip whenever she was around. Those that were extreme would deliberately bump into her just to insult her. 

She put up with all of it.

“It’s alright.” She would comfort herself. It was nothing compared to her salary.

…

At night, Dexter reached home late after attending an unplanned meeting.

He shrugged off his coat and changed into his indoor slippers. As he was about to head upstairs, he noticed a slim figure curled up on the sofa.

The woman seemed to be restless. Her eyebrows were furrowed as she mumbled in her sleep.

He went up to her and listened.

“Get out of my way, you bunch of stupid admirers… Stay away… Let me earn my money…”

He furrowed his forehead speechlessly.

How badly off is she that she’s even dreaming about earning money?

At that moment, the laptop screen before Josie flickered. Dexter noticed an interior design plan opened on the screen.

Although it was just a rough draft, Josie’s ideas and thoughts that went into the design were apparent. Every stroke of the drawing showed off her skill and talent in designing.

A rare look of admiration flashed across Dexter’s face. But he was bewildered.

Why was she under the radar for all these years if she had such talent?

“Nghh…”

She turned over in her sleep. A teardrop fell from her eye and sunk into the sofa cover.

He stood next to her and watched as she muttered again after some time.

“Dad…”

His eyes flickered. The cold glint in his eyes turned into a scoff.

“Mr. Russell, you’re back…” A maid’s voice rang across the room. Dexter made a silent gesture, and the maid understood immediately.

“Bring her a blanket.”

He turned around and went up the stairs.

The next day.

Josie woke from her sleep. She was confused as the blanket draped on her shoulders slipped off.

“Ms. Warren, are you awake?” The maid’s voice rang in Josie’s ears as she exercised her stiff shoulders and said, “Thank you for the blanket.”

Before the maid could say another word, Josie hurried upstairs to freshen up. The maid could only swallow her words.

Josie rushed to the company and managed to clock in just in time.

Relieved, she headed to the elevator for employees when a strong force knocked her from behind.

She lost her balance and staggered. She would have become the company’s joke if she didn’t hold on to the nearest thing just in time.
